Square Enix has at long last given the official Japanese Final Fantasy XIII site a major update, with new screens and even a message from producer Yoshinori Kitase.
The screens (accessible under the "character" section of the site) show off the characters we introduced here at IGN last week. Yes, you can now have your first moderately-sized look at Team Nora, including Gadot, Lebreau, and Maqui. These three don't appear to be primary characters, as they're all bunched together while Snow, Lightening and Vanille get their own pages.
There's a bit of new information at the site regarding the characters. Gadot and Lebreau are revealed to not only be subordinates of Snow in Nora, but also his childhood friends. Maqui, who was previously revealed to look up to Snow, is described as lacking confidence, and being not too big on fighting.
For everything else, we'll refer you to our writeup from last week.
The "message" section of the site has also been updated. Following up on the first message from director Motomu Toriyama, producer Yoshinori Kitase is in the hot seat for this update. He mostly teases in his message, revealing that as he creates the message he's viewing FFXIII running on dev kits. The ability to play FFXIII in advance of everyone else in the world is the thing that makes him happy about developing FFXIII, he says, adding that players will get a chance to experience a similar feeling when the FFXIII demo hits Japan in April.
Kitase also teases at a few names:
"Strategic battles using using XXXXX"
"Summon beasts like Shiva and XXXXX"
"Lightning does XXXXXX to XX and XX..."
The Xs represent Japanese characters. If you can figure out what they are, you get to advance directly to Final Fantasy XIV.
